Undercover cops Nick Cassidy (Dolph Lundgren) and Tony Vitayakul (Tony Jaa) are working the same case on opposite sides of the globe. Their assignment: stop Russian crime tsar Viktor Dragovic's (Ron Perlman) human trafficking operation. After Nick kills Viktor's son in a sting operation, Viktor responds with a brutal attack on him and his family. Nick miraculously survives - but his wife and daughter do not. Hell-bent on revenge, he heads to Bangkok and teams up with Tony to bring Viktor to justice. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Eddie Reed (Michael Jai White) is sent to bring Nick home. But as the crossfire ensues, Nick must determine who his true allies are. A heart-pumping, thriller, Skin Trade brings action legends Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa together for the first time - and the results are truly explosive. (Entertainment One)

Dolph Lundgren has surprised me a lot by this movie. I also have the user Testament to thank for basically pushing me towards watching it. Skin Trade is a classic B-grade action movie that’s pleasant to watch and the camerawork isn’t bad at all. The environment the movie takes place in is just a little cherry on top that can’t possibly ruin anything.

We've seen it all this many times somewhere else, and even more so the script. But when you have Tony Jaa vs Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa vs Michael Jai White on the screen, you get the feeling that there will be something to watch, even if the editing is the silliest and the budget the smallest. And there really is something to watch. A thoroughly satisfying average and, within the action genre, competent thing that may yet ably reincarnate Lundgren's otherwise declining career.
